Yes, the Indian Constitution explicitly prescribes Fundamental Rights. These rights are enshrined in Part III of the Constitution, spanning from Articles 12 to 35.
These rights are considered fundamental because they are essential for the all-round development (material, intellectual, moral and spiritual) of individuals and are guaranteed to all citizens irrespective of race, religion, caste, sex, etc. They are enforceable by the courts.
The Fundamental Rights include:
- Right to Equality (Articles 14-18)
- Right to Freedom (Articles 19-22)
- Right against Exploitation (Articles 23-24)
- Right to Freedom of Religion (Articles 25-28)
- Cultural and Educational Rights (Articles 29-30)
- Right to Constitutional Remedies (Article 32)
Initially, the Indian Constitution also guaranteed the Right to Property as a Fundamental Right, but it was later repealed and made a constitutional right under Article 300A.
